Worldwide ERC®’s latest Global Benchmarking Survey examines short-term international assignments and was conducted online during November and December 2009. Eighty-one organisations responded to the questionnaire and 76 of these organisations indicated that they have employees on short-term international assignments. Results show that over half of responding organisations have seen the number of STAs within their company increase over the past 24 months. Additionally, almost the same percentage of firms predicts the number of short-term assignments in their company will increase over the next 12 months.
